After an undisputed defeat with Bayern (0: 1, 0: 2) in the ⅛ final of the Champions League, PSG finally fell apart. In the next match, the Parisians beat Brest (2:1) with great difficulty, and in the last round they lost to Rennes (0:2).
The team is plagued by internal conflicts, injuries and many personal issues. It is still unclear if Messi will stay at the club next season and Mbappe will most likely be looking for a new club.
In the upcoming match, PSG will be weakened in defense. Most likely, Ramos, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Mukieli will be missing from the game. In addition, Neymar (13+11) is injured.
Lyon is one of the most aggressive teams in Ligue 1, is the leader in pressing intensity (ppda = 8.6) and plays attacking football. According to the expected created threat (xT = 1.71), the “weavers” are second only to a real opponent. In the last three rounds, they recorded a series of draws and were already 9 points behind the European Cup zone. The low quality of their home game (xga = 1.3) prevents them from fighting for high places.
Great news is the return of the club’s top scorer Alexandre Lacazette (17+4), who has managed to score 3 goals in the last two matchdays.
I think Lyon, aggressive in the last period, will be able to cause a lot of problems for the battered defense of the Parisians. I expect at least 1 ball from the outsider.
